The best of a number of similar pieces we have bought recently, this one is very heavy, a mortar made from a large burl or burr of wood, it has a beautiful warm golden patina, and an atmosphere of age and gravity. Comes with metal grinder or pestle. A first class ornament to grace the centre of a fine country table or sideboard.
